NPIV custom WWN

UNIX AIX
1

Hi All :slight_smile:
i would like to know if i can customize the WWN of the new VFC (NPIV).
Or, if i must move the LPAR on another server with another FCS, i have to change the zoning??

Thanks in advance.

I answer myself so i can share the info with everyone:

i write a post on my website: AIX � Change WWPN of NPIV adapters - La Bottega del Sistemista

The command to change the WWPN is:

chsyscfg -r prof -m 9117-MMA*XXXXXXX -i �name=Nomal1,lpar_id=6,�virtual_fc_adapters=�"35/client/3/VIOSERVER-20/13/c0507602150e0016,c0507602150e0017/1�"�

Thanks.

Just remember hat when you change the WWN of the Virtual Fibre Card that you need to change any SAN zoning you have for that LPAR, and more importantly make sure that the WWN isn't in use anywhere else on your SAN.
